Mother of Raushan Kuka and of Zuhra, wife of Khwaja Mu'azzam. Bayazid Bayat speaks of her as the urdu-begi of Humayun's haram, a title which Blochmann translates 'armed woman.'
She was at Hindal's marriage feast; she helped to nurse Humayun in 1546; and was an envoy to Haram Begam for marriage negotiations; and she appears in Akbar's reign when her daughter is murdered.
